Tonight the sky above Reminds me of you, love Walking through wintertime Where the stars all shine The angel on the stairs Will tell you I was there Under the front porch light On a mystery night

I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind This time

The neon lights in bars And headlights from the cars Have started a symphony Inside of me The things I left behind Have melted in my mind And now there's a purity Inside of me

I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind This time

Shakespeare said,"Journeys end in lovers meeting. What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced

anything remotely close to that...but I'm more than willing to believe Shakespeare had.

I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I'm constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives.It was Shakespeare who also said, "Love is blind." Now, that is something I know to be true.

For some, quite inexplicably... Iove fades. For others...Iove is simply lost. But then, of course, love can also be found.Even if just for the night. And then there's another kind of love. The cruelest kind.The one that almost kills its victims. It's called unrequited love.Of that, I am an expert. Most love stories are about peoplewho fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories? Those of us who fall in love alone.

We are the victims of the one-sided affair.We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones. The walking wounded. The handicapped without the

advantage of a great parking space. Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved...that man for over three miserable years. The absolute worst years of my life. The worst Christmases, the worst birt.hdays. New Year's Eves brought in

by tears and Valium. These years I've been in love have

been the darkest days of my life...all because I'm cursed by being in love with a man who does not...and will not love me back.

You're in my armsAnd all the world is calmThe music playing on for only twoSo close togetherAnd when I'm with youSo close to feeling alive

A life goes byRomantic dreams must dieSo I bid mine goodbye and never knewSo close was waiting, waiting here with youAnd now forever I knowAll that I wanted to hold youSo close

So close to reaching that famous happy endAlmost believing this was not pretendNow you're beside me and look how far we've comeSo far we are so close

How could I face the faceless daysIf I should lose you now?We're so closeTo reaching that famous happy endAlmost believing this was not pretendLet's go on dreaming for we know we areSo closeSo closeAnd still so far
